Traditional music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of the lower classes, and as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. One meaning often given is that of old songs, with no known composers; another is music that has been transmitted and evolved by a process of oral transmission or performed by custom over a long period of time.

Oh dirty Maggie Mae they have taken her awayAnd she never walk down Lime Street any moreOh the judge he guilty found herFor robbing a homeward bounderThat dirty no good robbin' Maggie MaeTo the port of LiverpoolThey returned me toTwo pounds ten a week, that was my pay

@Miguel Osvaldo Flores Dominguez Well... No, "good" and "bad" are not tangible. They're fully based on your own taste. The only tangible constant is popularity, it's like measuring the size of something, it's doesn't matter what your opinion is about that. Good and bad are the single most subjective and arbitrary concepts fathomable.

@Al the Alligator The only thing that is tangible is what is good and what is bad, Beatles are GOOD, Drake is BAD, Queen is GOOD, Led Zeppelin's also good, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and the list goes on... What's better for you it depends of your taste. It's hard to say what's better between two good things. The other tangible thing is influence, in that The Beatles are the most influential band ever, but that has no relationship with what's better or worse.

I think The Beatles are the best band 'cause I feel it when I listen to their songs.

@Miguel Osvaldo Flores Dominguez Well... That's exactly what I'm saying. There's no other tangible constant than popularity. There's no other concrete way to rank artists, as it's all down to opinion. So in conclusion, shut the fuck up about who's better

Miguel Osvaldo Flores Dominguez

@Al the Alligator popularity couldn't be the only way to rank a band. In that case we could say that Lady Gaga, Kanye West or Justin Bieber are great artists just because they are very famous.

@Miguel Osvaldo Flores Dominguez It's all down to opinion, but the only tangible constants (popularity) would suggest otherwise. Queen is better

LyricsOh dirty Maggie Mae they have taken her awayAnd she never walk down Lime Street any moreOh the judge he guilty found her for robbing a homeward bounderThat dirty no good robbing Maggie MaeThis is a part of Liverpool, they returned me toTwo pounds ten a week, that was my pay

Actual lyric for the rest of the song:

With a pocket full of tin, I was very soon taken inBy a gal with the name of Maggie May

Now, the first time I saw Maggie, she took my breath away,She was cruising up and down in Canning PlaceShe had a figure so divine, her voice was so refinedWell, being a sailor I gave chase

Now, in the morning I awoke, I was flat and stony brokeNo jacket, trousers, waistcoat did I findOh, and when I asked her, where? She said, "My very dear sir,They're down in Kelly's pawnshop number nine"

To the pawnshop I did go, no clothes there did I findAnd the police, they took that gal away from meAnd the judge he guilty found her of robbin' a homeward-bounderShe'll never walk down Lime Street anymore

Oh Maggie, Maggie May, they have taken her awayAnd she'll never walk down Lime street anymoreWell, that judge he guilty found her, for robbin' a homeward–bounderYou dirty, robbin' no good Maggie May

There are plenty of simple Beatles songs. There’s nothing wrong with that either. Sometimes it’s about the people and the fun more than the quality of music being produced.

Ah many "Maggie's" in our ancestry .. Many are products of sailors and "port women".. I am one of them.. Irish Sailor being taken just like this story.. except she didn't go to jail and my great grandmother went to an orphanage.. He would be my great great grandfather .. "Rankin"..she would be Ms. Sara Dale.. Would not be here without those two.. I love these old tales.. Thank you "Beatles" for giving us a glimpse of Liverpool History.

The show The Wackers (1975), is set in Liverpool and contains many local references. One character really doesn't like his in-laws, and he refers to his son-in-law's mother (named Margaret) as Maggie Mae, for which his daughter criticizes him, reminding him that Maggie Mae is a song about a prostitute, much to his amusement.
